My Tent Or Yours was the big name among the entries for Saturday's Stanjames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle.

Nicky Henderson's Champion Hurdle candidate was among the 11 five-day acceptors for the two mile contest as the maestro of Seven Barrows bids to win the prize for a third time having sent out Landing Light (2001) and Punjabi (2008) to victory in the past.

Jeremy Scott has declared Elite Hurdle winner, Melodic Rendezvous and he may be set to reoppose Cotton Mill after John Ferguson opted not to declare Sea Lord.

Ferguson, told At The Races: "Cotton Mill is getting older and wiser. When he was a novice he showed some serious pace. He looked like he might give Simonsig a race in the Neptune and ran through the wing."

John Quinn won the race last year and he could be represented on this occasion by Cockney Sparrow. The four-year-old could meet up with Evan Williams' Prima Porta having finished ahead of that mare at Wetherby earlier in the month.

Alan King could be represented by Aintree juvenile hurdle winner Grumeti while Nicky Richards has an interesting runner in the lightly-raced Duke Of Navan.

Bygones of Brid, Ifandbutwhynot, Puffin Billy, Rock Relief and Stormy Weather complete the entries.
